Hi Glenn,
I appreciated your useful plugin: I donated 1$ and I added it to my top ten list of WordPress plug-ins:

Stephen, it is the second approach. If you're after the first, I suggest you check out the official feedburner plugin ( http://blogs.feedburner.com... ). To be honest, it has really rendered this plugin redundant :)

Interesting. Does this leave the default URLs in place and redirect them when they are called (such as the FeedSmith plugin does)? Or does it actually replace the default URLs in the HTML?

I much prefer the first approach, because then readers are subscribing to YOUR feed URLs, not the FeedBurner ones. With the second approach, you're tied into FeedBurner. If you ever want to leave their service, then you'll have to get your subscribers to unsubscribe from the FeedBurner URL and then subscribe to the new URLs.

While FeedBurner is unchallenged at present, so was Hotmail before GMail came along - okay there were others such as Yahoo Mail, etc, but the point is you may not always want to use FeedBurner. It's better to keep people subscribed to YOUR feed URLs not the FeedBurner ones if possible.

@lil wyte I am wanting to do the exact same thing, did you ever get an answer to this? You asked: (I need to automatically insert ads in my posts. And not AdSense ads, but rather HTML snippets defined by me (affiliate links, etc).

Can anyone help me with this?

Except that for some reason the new URL of the comments feed now gives 404. I changed it from something.com/comments/feed/ to something.com/blog/comments.... Anything I can do to fix it?

I am trying to use your plugin to redirect the default feed to one that leaves out a category per this post: http://wordpress.org/suppor... For some reason it isn't working. Am I missing something?

Glenn,

How challenging would it be to modify your plugin to allow the site owner to create multiple feed redirects? For instance, we're only really interested in RSS 2 on our WP site. At the same time, we are doing some interesting things like running a domain and a subdomain off the same WP install using the same custom theme. We've coded things such that depending upon the domain the visitor is on (boldlygoing.com or AreYou.BoldlyGoing.com) the theme will call different navigation, different categories, different widgetized sidebars.

Since both "sites" still use the same database (users, post data, etc) I need to be able to burn different feeds with feedburner. The challenge with this is then having to go into the theme and ensure those correct feedburner URL's are going to get displayed with the page the visitor is on.

So, short story long, can your plugin be modified to allow me to explicitly enter a feedburner URL that might be for a specific domain/feed or subdomain.domain/feed, or even a feedburner URL that I create for domain/category/feeed.

Hopefully, this is clear. If not, please drop me a line, and thanks for your time. We do appreciate it!

This Plugin saved my life. Well maybe it wasn't that serious but I was at my wits end with this. For some reason my Comment RSS Feed was causing my Data Base no end of problems. I had a Feed that would work, but I couldn't get any of my links to link to it. I found your plugin and added the working URL in the Comment RSS data URL and Viola! My problem solved. I think this is a pretty common problem on Wordpress 2.2. I've seen a number of forums dedicated to it and the consensus seems to be that it's caused by a plugin adding spaces in the template. It was a bit over my head, but thanks to you it just works.

Thanks

I donâ€™t know whatâ€™s the problem but I had to replace few lines likes this one:

<?= $ft['name']?>

with this one:

<?php echo $ft['name']?>

Now it works.

thanks!

Unfortunately the Bible Gateway site doesn't provide a listen link in the feed. There is a audio link on the homepage for the current verse: http://www.biblegateway.com/

If you install the exec-php plugin : http://bluesome.net/post/20... you could then call bloginfo('rss2_url') inside a page.
